    This is easy. 2 choices and the correct answer may be both. Derek Falvey & Thad Levine seem like 2 that may need to go to improve this organization.

    I would include stick your head in a snowbank until you almost completely numb and then hope it's a bad dream.
  3. darin617
    There's one flaw if you look real close in the video. He was facing the Twins.

    yuck. no clue what they are thinking with this signing. even an option for 2020 for a guy who should have been signed to a minor league deal. losing what hope i have more everyday in them. I would have rather seen Wade Miley signed for sure. no clue what they see in Perez.

    If we have to dumpster dive for a SP why not Wade Miley?
  6. darin617
    Am I the only person shocked when I heard it's another 1 year deal?
  7. darin617
    So have him platoon with Kepler? If so when will Cave get some AB's?
  8. darin617
    I hope people aren't thinking that he will become "Josh Hader like" if we move him to the pen.

    Not sure why they don't extend a couple of years on some of the better RP's on the market. If we fall out of contention and they are pitching good they will have great trade value at the trade deadline. All we need is to hope we can use the bullpen a little better this year and not run arms into the ground like they did with Reed last season.

    Trade him to Baltimore or Seattle. Let him go to a team that doesn't want to win many games so he can get a full season of AB's. Then if he is doing what most think he is capable of doing he will be rewarded and traded to a contending team. Sad part is that Austin has such great potential and will most likely not be given the AB's he needs to do it in MN. To be honest, the best place for Austin would be to go play in Korea or Japan. Eric Thames got another chance in MLB after a few outstanding years in Korea.

    You can't throw in a bunch of junk and expect to get a quality arm back. Only way that happens if you take on a bad contract.
  12. darin617
    2 & 3 will be true when some pitching help is added.
  13. darin617
    All we want to know is will he be a clubhouse leader that this team needs & will he please take Sano under his wing and get back on the right path.
  14. darin617
    This "could" be a great signing if the 1st thing Nelson Cruz does is have a very long sit down with Sano and gets him right. Maybe this could be the last chance to save Sano from himself.

    Not sure if know this or not Twins pitchers can no longer pitch to him. So we shall see if he can actually still "crush the ball at TF

    Attendance has dropped so much every year. A straight out tanking season will be very hard to get people to come back until like mid May if not June in 2020 or 2021 when they actually start winning again. You can have the high draft picks but you still need to get lucky 9 times out of 10 to get a star. As well as the fact that tanking is the new "in thing" in MLB so it would be a race to the bottom. Not worth it.
  18. darin617
    Standing Pat equals tanking.

    I would say Harold Baines even though he was never a Twin. If he is worthy of being in the Hall of Fame we may as well make him a member of ours as well. Sad part he probably will never had his number retired by any team. So why not be "Minnesota nice" and bring him in.
  20. darin617
    Just like Allen there are a ton of innings on all those pitchers arms. I would not be mad if they brought in all of them but as long as they don't over use them like they did last year with Reed.
  21. darin617
    A few bad appearances and a poor defense can kill a relief pitcher's ERA for quite a while.
  22. darin617
    The smart play now is not really a popular play for the Twins. That would to basically do nothing right now and wait for the big FA's to sign and then take a couple of chances on guys desperate to land a contract and flip them at the trade deadline or earlier. But, please don't sign any guys after Spring Training starts.
  23. darin617
    Jed Lowrie or Daniel Murphy would have been the player I would have rather seen them sign. I can also say I would have rather waited for another team to pick up a 2b first. Hate to think it's another classic Twins overpay. Just because he was projected to make $10M doesn't mean you need to pay him close to that. My guess is that Dozier will sign for $4M.
  24. darin617
    Quick question, I see Santana is a switch hitter but what side is his dominate side? If he's another guy whose better side is batting right we got that covered. It would be nice if he brought a veteran presence to this team.
  25. darin617
    Why do you think SF is looking to deal Mad Bum? Last year of very team friendly deal and by the way he has a TON of innings on that arm. It seems like SF knows it's now or never to try to cash him in before he gets hurt.
